Crystallization Process and Site-Selective Excitation of Nd<sup>3+</sup> in LaF<sub>3</sub>/NaLaF<sub>4</sub> Sol–Gel-Synthesized Transparent Glass-Ceramics

In this study, transparent oxyfluoride glass-ceramics (GCs) with NaLaF<sub>4</sub> nanocrystals (NCs) were prepared by the sol–gel method for the first time. Three different molar ratios of La(CH<sub>3</sub>COO)<sub>3</sub>/Na(CH<sub>3</sub>COO) were u...
